Ambition.

there are the dark days that cloud the mind right from the startthere are the eulogies i composefor my own goodbyesthere are the melodies i’ve learnedto sing by heart when i’m alone, afraidmy life has been a song of sorrows

there is a quietness that i have never shakena terrifying absence and depressionthat most of what i dream of will never come to passcos i imagine life too big before i even start

and my ambition is to make a differenceas large a one as i ever could concieveand my name may never be made knownmy ambition stays the same i’d make a difference to your heart

i’ve read ten thousand names and whispered them aloudi’ve spent long nights awake perfecting every parti’ve listened to the heartbeat of a thousand livesand heard the same refrain, and i’ve tried to make a difference

there are the words that stickwithin the corners of the mindthere are the tears that start with any memory of long hard nightsthere are the sad songs and poemsthat walk me through the daysmy life has been a song of sorrows

and my ambition is to make a differencecollecting all the stories my life is made ofand if i could somehow remember all their namesmy ambition was to make a difference to your heartand their names would make the finest start

my eulogy can start anytime you likeas soon as you feel satisfied, i’ll take the walki simply ask to see a thousand faces beside the Sonand remember me where i made a difference to your heart
